I was at home a few days this week to get my stitches removed from my recent surgery. I stopped by the local truck parts store to stock up on a few light bulbs and spotted this beast sitting in the parking lot. Don't know who it belongs to, but it was a wild looking ride!

I saw that or one similar when was eastbound on 90. Maybe in Montana. It all kinda runs together sometimes.

I've always loved cabovers too! I talked to a guy at a rest area in Idaho who had a really nice old Freightliner that he runs flatbed with. It was interesting to see him climb into it - kind of like Spiderman crawling up a wall. I've seen a lot of cabovers out west, especially in Idaho, Wyoming, eastern Washington, and Montana.

While waiting to get my truck serviced at the Knight terminal in Olive Branch, Mississippi, I walked down to the Home depot and spotted this rig sitting in the parking lot.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

I ran across an awesome pink custom truck on Facebook that I was going to post here but I can't find it again! I believe it's being shown at the Walcott Jamboree at the Iowa 80. Hot pink and lotsa chrome!
